Global consulting company Accenture acquires Cloud Sherpas, a specialist in helping enterprises incorporate cloud services such as Salesforce.com, Google and ServiceNow, for an undisclosed sum.

Accenture already has a Cloud First Applications team delivering "pure play" cloud services for Google NetSuite, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Workday-- and the Cloud Sherpas buy will swell its ranks with over 1100 professionals.

Founded in 2007, Cloud Sherpas is the largest Google consulting partner, one of just four ServiceNow Master Partners and a Salesforce Global Strategic Consulting Partner.

“We’ve reached a tipping point in cloud as our clients rapidly adopt cloud solutions,” the company says “Accenture’s Cloud First agenda is a game-changer that offers transformational cloud services to help clients move their businesses to the cloud and achieve significant business results more quickly.”
